Which GPA to use??

Hey A couple of quick questions…when colleges report their average GPA, does that GPA include non-academic classes (like gym, art, health, etc.)?
Also, when my high school sends transcripts they give the 10-11 weighted and unweighted GPA, using only core academic classes…(basically, they report our UC GPA). Will colleges look at this or will they just immediately recalculate? My counselor told me that no colleges will see my freshman year, but that’s completely wrong, right?
Oh! (Sorry, last one…) When a college’s average GPA is 4, does that mean that so many students had a 4.0 that the average rounded up to 4, or is there weighting going on causing the average to be 4?
Thanks so much for answering any of these :)
